Leicester City winger Rachid Ghezzal is a target for Greek giants Olympiacos, according to reports.

Ghezzal, out of favour at City, is expected to leave the King Power Stadium before the close of the European transfer windows on September 2 and could make a loan switch to Athens.

A move to Olympiacos would likely see Ghezzal competing in the Champions League group stages, with the Greek side holding a 4-0 lead over Krasnodar ahead of their play-off round second leg on Tuesday evening.

According to reports in Greece, Olympiacos have been in contact with Ghezzal, making the 27-year-old one of their top targets as they look to strengthen their wide options.

Ghezzal is well down the wide-man pecking order at the King Power Stadium and City manager Brendan Rodgers confirmed last week that he was a player who could leave before the month was over.

Ghezzal, signed last summer from £12 million from Monaco, has played just 19 minutes of competitive football under Rodgers and, with Ayoze Perez, Harvey Barnes, Marc Albrighton and Demarai Gray at the club’s disposal, is surplus to requirements.
